I was sitting in a bar, listening to a girl telling a story.

On graduation day, the girl cried her eyes out. She lives in a shared room with luggage all over the floor. She stamped her feet anxiously because the toilet was occupied by a big man. He can't get in unless he comes out.

The first night, she couldn't sleep because she had just finished watching the movie "The Killer is Not Too Cold". The line in the movie deeply penetrated her heart: Is life always so painful? be

She looked at the big city and was helpless. Her parents urged her to go home, work and get married, saying that girls should fight for everything and go home. She gritted her teeth and said to her mother, "mom, let me work hard for half a year." If I can't find a job at the end of the year, I will go home. "

Parents feel bad about her being a girl who works hard in Beijing and give her money every month. She looked at Cary's money, tears streaming down her face. She is determined not to spend her parents' money, but when it comes to paying the rent, she is still reluctant and brushes hard.

She hit a wall everywhere and submitted too many resumes, all of which sank into the sea; I interviewed many companies and told them to go home and wait for the letter.

Slowly, she began to doubt herself. Why should I do this? Why should I be so bitter as a girl? What am I doing? Why should I die like this? If I go home, I will drive around the shopping center now. Maybe I have a stable boyfriend and started planning to get married.

Thought of here, she looked at the brightly lit Beijing, more confused. After all, helplessness and independence, tears are not obedient kept spinning in her eyes.

At this moment, the telephone rang. She took out her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, which read two words: Mom.

She immediately dried her tears and took a deep breath.

After answering the phone, she wants to tell her mother all the pain she has encountered in recent months. She wanted to go home and didn't want to stay, but what she blurted out was: Mom, I'm fine. I got another interview call today. Don't worry, I had a good time.

After a few pleasantries, she hung up the phone, dried her tears and ran home to continue submitting her resume.

A few days later, she received an offer from an Internet company with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan and an internship period of 3,000 yuan. At the end of the year, she will get the commission for starting a business.

She was asked: Can she stand working overtime frequently?

She was ecstatic and said, "Yes, I can bear hardships and work overtime every day."

In this way, she worked in this company for two years.

In the past two years, she arrived at the company at 9 am every day and went home at 9 pm. For two years, she has never been to the cinema, rarely participated in social activities, never watched TV, never been to a bar or slept.

She gets up early to learn English every day, teaches herself ps and new media at night, and goes running to study when she is tired. This life lasted for two years, more than 700 days.

Colleagues advised her not to be too tired. She just smiled and said nothing. Two years later, she jumped ship to another company. Because of her beautiful typesetting on wechat, she was quickly promoted to editor-in-chief of new media, with a monthly salary of 8 thousand plus commission and a year-end bonus.

A year later, she became the marketing director of that company. People are curious about how she knows all this. Later, when she moved, everyone saw several thick books on copywriting and publicity.

A year later, she jumped ship again and became the deputy general manager of a company. At the moment, her monthly salary has exceeded 10,000 yuan, she has a car, found a boyfriend, loves each other, and is preparing to talk about marriage. At least, she is getting by in Beijing.

When she told me this, she said calmly: You know, it took me four years to live a decent life in everyone's eyes. It was a difficult journey, but I never regret it.

I asked her, if you go home after graduation that year, your parents will arrange all this for you. You can drive in the first year, settle down in the first year, and find a boyfriend in the first year, which is exactly the same as your life now. Don't you think it's wasted four years?

She shook her head and said, "No, in the past four years, I have gone from nothing to self-sufficiency. Now I have a life, not given by anyone, but by my hands. " Over the years, I have learned how to struggle. I know how to teach myself. I have seen different scenery and met different people. The experience along the way is more important than anything else. "

I touched my head, but, so tired?

After drinking the coffee in front of her, she said, "But I'm still young, and I don't want my life to be like this. I want to make my youth sweat. What's more, staying at home every day is no more comfortable than wandering around. I love this kind of blood, this is the best youth. "

I was very moved by her words. It was a girl who told me the meaning of hard work in the most direct language.

She also talked about the meaning of youth: sweating and struggling without hesitation. She said that youth is not leisure and laziness, not ease and stability. On the contrary, it is to accumulate wealth when there is nothing, keep the ability to learn at any time, and be brave in traveling and taking risks.

Maybe it's uncomfortable, but who says the process of chasing dreams will be comfortable?

I remembered a conversation with a friend. He told me: people will die eventually. Since the ending is the same, why should I fight? What's the point? It's better to watch TV, sleep late and live like this for a lifetime.

At first, I couldn't explain.

Later, after listening to this girl's story, I found the answer:

Just because people are going to die after all, we should work hard. If people have the same ending and cannot be changed once they are born, then the biggest difference between people depends on how you live. Along the way, what have you experienced, what have you experienced, where have you been, who you met, where you fell and where you got up.

It doesn't matter which detours you take, what matters is the scenery along the way. These can create the best of you.
